There are bars around me <br />and at times I cannot <br />break the obstruction, the things that divide <br /> <br />and like an animal I am caged, like an inquisitive person <br />I look at people, things that pass <br />and at times I cannot <br /> <br />get my eyes <br />to the other side of the wire which breaks every thing into bits <br />and I look at people, things that pass <br /> <br />and with every breaking day <br />things comprehend less, without a new beginning <br />to the other side of the wire which breaks every thing into bits <br /> <br /> <br />and I am caged without a life with you in it <br />and I do not know where to find someone to unlock my life <br />things comprehend less, without a new beginning <br /> <br /> <br />into eternity I serve out a jail term. <br />There are bars around me <br />and I do not know where to find someone to unlock my life, <br />break the obstruction, the things that divide.<br /><br />Gert Strydom<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-are-bars-around-me/
